You shouldn't have to worry about overheating unless you see the temp continue to climb above that number even with the fan going.


55% load is high? I need to maintain about 50% load (as reported by LOD on the SG) just to maintain speed at about 55 mph on level ground.
I think it varies from car to car because on level road I only need to maintain 25-30% load.

I need to get another scangauge it seems. I'm getting tired of flipping back and forth between LOD, TPS, trip mileage, and fWT.
